My son was left at the school by the bus on his way home. The school called me 45 minutes later to tell me he was at the school. I was horrified since I had been waiting at the bus stop for him and he never got off the bus. When I arrived to pick up my son the staff, including the principal were extremely rude. They were not considerate of the emotions of a parent of not knowing where there child had been. They did not even say hello, they just said show your ID and get your child. It was horrible. This school has the worst service towards parents. They treat us like were are not educated people with careers. They feel like we are ignorant. I'm looking into requesting a transfer to another school in the district where education and safety is the number one priority of the school not socioeconomic statuses.

I have a few kids that went to Nesbit this year. I love my fourth graders teacher, She is very understanding and takes the time to work with each student. The other teachers I am a little iffy on but I reinforce at home so I am not to worried. The front office people are rude and I wish that something can be done about that. I have complained but still no change. Don't let them deter you from coming to the school. This school has so many after school and before school activities that the kids love!

My son started Kindergarten here. At first I was a little skeptical because the school looked rundown. Many of the families seemed to be low-income. Usually neighborhoods with a lot of low-income families get the short end of the stick when it comes to funding and the teachers seem to teach the students as if they are already failures. I was wrong. The quality of education is excellent. My son didn't know how to write or spell, barely his abc's. He has been attending for less than 3 months and can already write his name perfectly, can "read" by sounding out letters, can recognize words and letters, can count up to 100, knows math, and can spell out words. He has learned socially acceptable behaviors (such as saying excuse me after passing gas) and has developed a healthy social life with children from school. It really is a great school. I wouldn't let looks or anything cause you to underestimate the school. Also, there IS one lady who is always in the front of the school on the far left of the large desk in the lobby that has a terrible attitude. She barely smiles, will cut you off when talking, and always seems to hate being at work.
